Hi! Yes, if you are starting a retinol product like the wrinkle and texture repair or the Retinol Skin Brightener, there can be some dryness and peeling that can occur. This often happens as the skin is getting used to the retinol in the beginning stages. Avoid areas around your eyes, nose and mouth, as these can be slightly more sensitive and cause peeling. Using the Daily Power Defense before applying your retinol can help lessen the retinol sensitivity when starting out. You can also use retinol every other day until your skin is ready for daily use. I would also keep in contact with your skin specialist, who can monitor your skin reactions to the retinol and give you extra steps if the reaction is too strong. If you need more advice, we offer free consultations which you can book here: myfacedr.com/a/fd/consult#/ You can also email us at hello@myfacedr.com and one of our skin experts can assist in offering advice.
@@facedr ok thanks a lot. I should just use the brighter on my face including forehead and avoid the nose. Is it ok if I use the power defence on my whole face. How long does the dryness and peeling last. I have some peeling on my forehead and my cheek area. My next appointment is in 2 weeks
@@frozengamer3030 Hi! Peeling and dryness will depend on your skin type, skin history and medical history. For example, if you already have dry skin, then this may be more intense than someone with oily skin. Usually, slight peeling and dryness goes away after the first two-three weeks as the skin renews itself and becomes accustomed to retinol. Yes, using the daily power defense is acceptable on the whole face and neck, but please avoid contact with your eyes. As everyone's skin is different, I recommend booking a consultation to have a skin expert give better advice once they have more in-depth information on your skin. myfacedr.com/a/fd/consult#/
Thanks for this info well appreciate it I have a question can we use make up while in the severe melasma Zo skin health regimen with tretinoin ? Thanks in advance
Hi! Yes you can use makeup on top of your skincare with Tretinoin for severe melasma. We recommend waiting ten minutes for your skincare to fully sink in before applying makeup on top. Be sure to wear SPF as well! :)
Yes, we recommend always using a quality SPF as the last step in your skin routine in the morning. Here is a link to our SPF range - myfacedr.com/collections/sun-protection
Hi there! An exfoliator and a hydrator will both do different jobs for your skin. However, your specialist may have made bespoke suggestions more suited to your skin. This kit doesn't actually contain a moisturiser or hydrator. It's got Daily Power Defense serum and Brightalive which is the Skin Brightening non-HQ product which helps to brighten pigmentation. Any questions please do feel free to get in touch with us at hello@myfacedr.com! Best wishes, Hannah - Face Dr
Hi there! We wouldn't recommend using Enzymatic Peel on your eyelids or indeed on the eye area. I'd recommend taking a look at ZO's eye care collection here: myfacedr.com/collections/eye-care - Best wishes, Hannah - Face Dr
Hi Jodie, yes you can use the ZO BrightAlive without the daily power defense. myfacedr.com/products/zo-brightalive-skin-brightener You may also want to try the AOX Illuminating Serum which works similarly to DPD to protect against environmental pollution and signs of premature ageing. myfacedr.com/products/zo-illuminating-aox-serum
Yes, you can! While the Daily Power Defense can be a great hydrator on its own, if you are needing more hydration a moisturiser is fine to use after the DPD. We do have the ZO Skin Health Recovery Creme, the ZO Renewal Creme, and the zo hydrating creme. You can view them here: myfacedr.com/collections/creams-moisturisers
Hi, I just bought the ZO brightener kit and I started using it in order. Can I use moisturizer after the brightalive skin brightener? I feel like my skin still dry.
Hi @@suzettenearn9653 , yes you can apply a moisturiser after the Brightalive for more hydration as needed. You may want use a hydrating cleanser as well if your skin is feeling drier.

Hello I wanted to ask you do the products cause any dryness and peeing. Is that normal I followed what my skin specialist told me only use a pea size

@@facedr Ok thanks. So I guess it is dangerious to apply it around the eye area? And how much of the enzymatic peel should I apply? A small amount?
@@habbomanish It is just not suitable for the eye area. You can find details on how to use on our website: myfacedr.com/products/zo-enzymatic-peel 😊
@@facedr thanks
